homotypic fusion, where two endosomes fuse rapidly to form a single vesicle, and heterotypic fusion, in which lysosomes ...

Finally, a core layer of proteins interact to bring vesicle membranes in exceedingly close apposition with their cognate target membranes, thereby driving membrane fusion. Each of these processes ...

Membrane protein trafficking in eukaryotes relies on dozens of protein complexes that recruit cargoes, drive vesicle budding, and catalyze vesicle fusion. While the biological roles of these membrane ...

Most small extracellular vesicles were internalized into their target cells through a process called endocytosis. Previously, ...

The study introduces new tools for measuring the intracellular calcium concentration close to transmitter release sites, which may be relevant for synaptic vesicle fusion and replenishment. This ...
